He reported severe subjective difficulty swallowing solids and restricted his diet to liquids. Flexible nasolaryngoscopy, videoendoscopic evaluation of swallowing (Hyodo score 1), videofluorographic swallowing study (VFSS), upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and neurological evaluation were all essentially normal. No aspiration was documented. Functional dysphagia was diagnosed based on the marked discrepancy between symptom severity and objective findings. Conservative management with reassurance and gradual reintroduction of oral intake resulted in progressive recovery over 4\u2009months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Functional dysphagia should be considered when subjective swallowing difficulty is disproportionate to objective findings. Recognition of this discrepancy prevents overtreatment and supports multidisciplinary management targeting sensory\u2010perceptual recalibration rather than anatomical correction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crot\/1173915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,4]],"date-time":"2026-07-04T06:58:48Z","timestamp":1783148328000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Functional Dysphagia Presenting With Severe Subjective Swallowing Difficulty Despite Minimal Objective Findings: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7208-2135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fumiyuki","family":"Goto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koichiro","family":"Nishiyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Okami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koichiro","family":"Wasano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2016.02.032"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2016.02.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/VES-170622"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nmo.14120"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5056\/jnm.2011.17.2.110"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5009\/gnl220373"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17549507.2025.2473071"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpg.2010.09.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/aws129"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016480903530946"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Otolaryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1155\/crot\/1173915","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1155\/crot\/1173915","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1155\/crot\/1173915","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,4]],"date-time":"2026-07-04T06:58:49Z","timestamp":1783148329000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1155\/crot\/1173915"}},"subtitle":[],"editor":[{"given":"Rong-San","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"editor"}]}],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1155\/crot\/1173915"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/crot\/1173915","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6765","2090-6773"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6765","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6773","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-02-13","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-06-21","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-07-03","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"1173915"}}
